OF the London Press on the Proclamation
of the Land League.
LONDON, Aug. 20.

LONDON, Aug. 20.
The Times defends the governments ac.
ton In protecting the league. 1t deplores
the secession OF Mr. Russell from the union
ist party.
The STANDARD says it is necessary that the
Irish be made to know who is master,-the
league or the law. The fight has hitherto
been fought on equal terms. 1t is now time
for this to end, and the combatants to resume
their proper places criminals on the one
hand and officers Of justice on the other.
The Telegraph considers the government
course in procIaiming leagues as emineutly
discreet and say that had they adopted arbl
trstion and total suppression of the league
they would have risked full opposition of dis
sidents.
The Chronicle mildly approves the gov
ernmenis step.
The News says The proclamation oi
the league will have little effect except that
they will not call themselves members of the
league; some men will meet for discussion
and TO advise their neighbors. Whatever is
healthy and good in the league will be able
to work on as before. We hope and firmly

A BIDDEFORD FLORIST
Mysteriously DIsappears-Perhaps Tenn
pOrarily Insane.
BIDDEEoRD, Aug!e &c

BIDDEEoRD, Aug:20.
Patrick Mccarthy, florist on Pool street,
in Biddeford, suddenly disappeared a week
ago last Thursday, since which time none of
his friends have seen him, and they are much
worried In consequence, fearing he has wan
dered away when temporarily insane.
His green houses are closed, and plants
are withering and dying for lack of water and
proper attention. His domestic relations
have not been pleasant, and several weeks
ago he and his wife separated she taking five
children and going to Jamaica Plains to live,
Mr.. Mccarthy supporting her.
She has visited him once or twice since the
separation and was here fortnight or so ago,
when he began to act queerly and seemed to
have trouble with his head. On the morning
he disappeared his conduct was more pecu-
liar than usual and after alternately pacing
up and down the floor and throwing himself
upon the sofa for a while, he told his board
ing mistress he was going out and would not
be back for dinner. He has not been seen by
his friends since. He has always been ar
honest hard working man, and was much
liked in town. His wife is here today, hav
ing come to look him up. She says she
has not heard from him for some time.

A FINE POINT
For the Knights of Labor to Settle-Has
secretary Hayes Legal status!

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.
special from New Brunswick, n. J the
home of John ". Hayes. secretary Of the
general executive board OF the Knights of
Labor, states that he belong. 10 local Assem-
bly, which for four months has been suspend
ed from the order, and that, inssmuch as he
owes his standing as a member OF district los
and an officer Of the order to MS membership
in the local assembly. he has no legal status
whatever. Hence it follows that every official
act and role OF Mr. HAYES is liable to question
as regards its legality, and movement has
already been begun to have such acts declared
null and void at the Minneapolis convention
Five district asse emhles in this city have thus
far chosen delegates to that convention, and
out Of the nine men thus selected, eight are
staunch opponents of the present general ex
ecutive board. District assembly l will be
represented at the general assembly by three
opposition delegates and one favorable TO the
administration. District assembly 81 has
selected William Warren to oppose the sd.
ministration party, and district assembly 1870

Morrison and Joseph McGinn will endesvor

which was expelled on May II, last; and dis,
ers, on Tnursdal nj ht selected a delegate of
the same political complexion. The cleo
tions in most OF the big districts in other
parts of the country have resulted in simi-
lar way. District assembly "a and district
assembly 81 of Chicago, have arrsyed them
selves against the administration party; so
have district assembly rs of Brooklyn and
New York, and district assembly So of Den
yer District assembly 80 in Massachusetts,
will be represented in the general assembly
by ten delegates, five of whom are adherents
of Mr.. Powderly and the other five opponents of
his policy District assembly 40 of New York
and district assembly 81 of Newark have not
yet held their delegate elections but il is
predicted that they will send anti-admnis-
tration delegates. The leaders in these vari-
Gus districts are in communication, and will
act in concert in carrying on the campaign
against the present general officers. 1t is
their intention 10 bring about needed reforms
and make general new deal.

A NEW PARTY
Formed with 100000 Members, OF
Which Powderly is Prominent Mem
ber.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 81

PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 81.
The Press tomorrow will say During the
celebration of the constitutional centennial a
preparatory convention will be held at which
delegates from the 3S States will be present.
A call has already been drafted by body
known as the American National Committee,
The committee has been working very quietly
for over a year in active correspondence with
prominent people throughout the country,
and has laid a foundation for solid party
organization. They claim over 100000
members, whose purpose is to inculcate pure
ly American ideas, some of which are the
survival of the Know nothing organization of
1874
Powderly is a prominent member OF the
new party and has given utterance more than
once to the principles which the new party
has proposed to stand on. These start from
the central idea, restriction of immigration.
The September convention will devote itself
to formulating scheme to effect a thorough
organization of State, county and townships
committees, and call convention to be held
next July, probably in this city, when candi-
dates for President and Vice President and
State tickets will be put in the field.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
AN ARREST
Ofa Young Man Who Committed Suicide
in Lewiston.

PORTLAND, Aug. 20.
The man calling himself Chamberlain, no
who was arrested in this city Saturday mora
ing for forgery in Lewiston, made no resist
ance or fuss, but accepted the inevitable with
good deal of composure.
He is rather good looking fellow, well
dressed and intelligent, and apparently about
20 years of age. The following particular
are gathered from his own account:
About a week ago he appeared in Lewistos
as he says, Striking the town for good
time" When he got ready to leave for pas
lures new, he needed trunk and bought one
with check for S25, which he forged in the
name of John A. Tracy. This forged order
was the cause of his arrest.
When he was searched in the police station
after the arrest, number OF papers were
found in his possession; among them were
several forgeries which he made no attempt
to conceal. One of them was forged check
purporting to be drawn by Edwards & Walker
of this city. Another was a forged bill OF
hardware, running to Sargent & Co. OF
Boston.
The young man is very free to talk about
the affair and expresses no feeling of sorrow
or regret. In answer to question as to how
he happened to be in so bad case, he an
swered as though it was his intention to pur.
sue life of crime, and said in apology for
being caught, 80, this is my first one"

INDIAN TROUBLES.
White Blood Drawn in One Conflict
Mounted Men rtart for the Front.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 90.
Whatever may have been the cause of the
trouble, and whether or not it was Justi1able
the fact remains that there is difficulty ahead
that will only be averted by hasty return of
the renegades to their reservation. The
State authorities have gone too far to retrace
their steps, and the Indians give no sign of
an intention to retire.
Sheriff Kendall started from Meeker,
Wednesday, with nine men, to locate the In
dians, whom he found still in camp near the
old Thornburg battlefield. They were look
ing for him, however, and got in his rear.
After stubborn fight, in which four of
KendalPs men were wounded and three
horses killed, the party succeeded in escap-
ing.
This was the first white blood drawn in
conflict Couriers were hastily sent to
Glenw wood who met the company of 90 well
armed volunteers from Aspine on the road
and the latter party FASTENED forward. In
formation was conveyed also to Glenwood
Springs where troops from Denver and other
ports are encamped
Saturday morning mounted men left Glen
wood for the front with the possibility that
they may encounter Indians on the road.

The Last ofthe Aztec Emperors.

MEXICO, Aug. 2l.
The unyeiling of the statue Of Cnanhotomoc,
the last of the Astec emperors, this forenoon,
was an occasion of unusual interest and sig
nifcanee. Very few Mexicans iof Spanish
descent were present, but thousands of Ind
ans many who came from miles around the
capital, bringing with them great quantities
OF flowers, attended the ceremony. When
President Diaz unveiled the statue the spec
tators cast flowers upon the pedestal in such
profusion as to almost hide it, The event
shows the Indians cherish the memories of
their ancestors patriotic struggle against the
Spanish at the time of the conquest. An ad.
dress in the Aztec language was delivered by
Francesca Del Paso.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people a
nation Of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flour has done won-
derful work in reforming this sad business
and making the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
drugrist for bottle. Seventy.fye cents.
